Hello Kitty Fondant Cake
yups.. the time of the yr when I have to crack my brains for ideas of cake for my little gal. She turns 7 and it's a wonder how fast time passes by!
This year, I decided to do a Hello Kitty cake. Initially I had wanted to do up a castle cake! But after thinking thru' I guess I'm being over ambitious if I really try that. Maybe next year. :P So I "downsize" my dreams of a castle cake to a Hello Kitty (HK) cake. I was also toying with the idea of making it 2 tiers, as in having a square lower tier and the HK on top. However, I finally decided on a small HK as I think it should be sufficient. So again, it got "downsized". LOLz....

It is a very deep silicon mold and Elyn had warned me that it'll take slightly longer for the cake to bake, and well, it did take 10mins more than stipulated.
The cake is a walnut butter cake, done using a separated eggs method. Hopefully I can get an innard shot tmr when the cake is being cut!
For now, enjoy the pics and it's bedtime for me!

Hi Ida,
I forgot to ask you in the previous comment, may I ask where did you get those alphabet cutters?
They look like the perfect size I'm looking for! =p

Thanks ladies.
It's just a simple walnut butter cake without layer. This mommy is too lazy!!! LOLz.
Youfei, this is a very common alphabet cutter. If I dun recall wrongly, I got it from Phoon Huat. I recall seeing it in FairPrice too. :)

Hi ida, Very lovely cake!Your daughter must be so happy to receive this pretty cake.
Can I just check with you how you got the perfect shape of the kitty head? Did you bake with a round shape pan?
Tks for sharing your photos.

My little girl is turning 2 in October & she loves Hello Kitty, so I googled for some cake ideas. Ironically I came across your cake. My little girl's name is Cherilynn also. We spell it the same way & everything. Just thought it was interesting. :)
